Shoutout to Visit Florida for the Destination Derby gift ☀️

Had a little fun with this one — celebrated with my crew… my 3D printed Jeep ducks 😆🐥

Always love when work turns into a little competition (and a prize doesn’t hurt either). Grateful to keep learning destinations, building better trips for clients, and actually enjoying the process along the way.

Who else did the Derby this round??

Okay but Antigua is actually so easy 🇦🇬

Like… let me explain:
• 365 beaches (one for every day of the year)
• Only about 100k people
• And somehow just 12 traffic lights 😆

Also — because I know you’re thinking it - Yes, it’s safe!

It’s a Level 1 destination, which is the lowest advisory level — just normal awareness, nothing out of the ordinary.

You can comfortably explore, leave your resort, go to dinner, check out viewpoints like Shirley Heights, and not feel on edge the whole time.

And getting there? Easy.

✈️ Direct flights from John F. Kennedy International Airport
(no direct flights from Boston… yet 😉)

So between that + English-speaking + USD widely accepted… it’s one of the least stressful Caribbean trips you can take.

The vibe: Super chill.
Not spring break chaos.
More “wake up, beach, eat, repeat.” 🍹

This is one of those islands I’d feel very comfortable sending pretty much anyone to.

Bruises.
A broken jaw.
Broken ribs.
Lacerations all over the head.
Older injuries that had already healed.

The autopsy still says drowning — manner of death: undetermined.

How does that make any sense?

🇵🇹 WHAT FEELS EXPENSIVE VS. INEXPENSIVE IN PORTUGAL 💶

If you’re visiting Portugal for the first time (especially from the U.S. or Canada), you’ll probably be surprised by what feels cheaper than expected — and what doesn’t!

✨ Things that feel relatively inexpensive:
🍽️ Eating out — restaurants, cafés, bakeries
🍷 Wine, beer, and drinks
🍊 Fresh produce and local markets
🚆 Public transportation (trains, trams, metros)
🚗 Uber/Bolt rides
💊 Medical care (if needed)
📱 SIM cards and data plans

💸 Things that might feel more expensive:
⛽ Gasoline/diesel
🛣️ Highway tolls
🧴 Sunscreen and other everyday products
🚙 Rental car insurance
🧭 Guided tours — they’re not “cheap,” but they include real costs (fuel, tolls, insurance, licensing, etc.)

🌞 Seasonal surprises:
🏖️ Hotels & Airbnbs in peak season (especially Lisbon, Porto & the Algarve)
🚗 Rental cars in summer
